Every story written brings some enjoyment. This one brought stories and stories of enjoyment. The Hings are a fourth-generation grocery family living and doing business in Superior, about 30 miles from Mesa, Arizona. Theirs is a story of hard work, toughness and persistence through 100 years of providing the mining town with fresh provisions and other necessities. Michael Hing’s grandfather started the business in 1920, less than a decade since coming from China; next year, then, is the centennial; he befriended Eddie Basha Sr.’s dad, who started that Arizona grocery company in nearby Kearney. He was also friendly with Colonel Boyce Thompson, the Magma Copper owner who founded the beautiful Boyce Thompson Southwest Arboretum. Please come through these doors, shop a spell and read about a family that makes Arizona, and America, great.
